Looking forward to seeing this in the theater, but even furthermore, can't wait for the DVD release a year or so down the road. This movie is currently the most expensive ever produced and spent 4 years in production.

When i read legends of the 'rebirth' of Avatar i had hopes, but now they're shattered. if they can't recreate it in the original form, leave it alone. i, myself, really wanted to see Avatar go outside Anime and into live action but nothing is correct. ok, so the oddball animals are there, that's about it.

In A.D. 2154,[8] the story&#8217;s protagonist, Jake Sully (Sam Worthington), is a former U.S. Marine who was wounded and paralyzed from the waist down in combat on Earth. Jake is selected to participate in the Avatar program, which will enable him to walk. Jake travels to Pandora. This world is a lush and sentient-inhabited jungle-covered satellite of Polyphemus, one of three gas giants that orbit Alpha Centauri A,[8] 4.3 light years from Earth.

Pandora's biosphere is filled with incredible life forms, some beautiful, many terrifying. This world is also home to the Na&#8217;vi, a sentient humanoid race, who are considered primitive, yet are more physically capable than humans. Standing three meters tall (approximately 10 feet), with tails and sparkling blue skin, the Na&#8217;vi live in harmony with their unspoiled world. As humans encroach deeper into Pandora's forests in search of valuable minerals, the Na&#8217;vi unleash their formidable warrior abilities to defend their threatened existence.

The political import of Avatar — and there’s no waving this aspect away because it’s right in your face start to finish, and especially in the third act — is ardently left. It is pro-indigenous native, anti-corporate, anti-imperialist, anti-U.S. Iraq War effort, anti-U.S.-in-Afghanistan (and anti-troop-surge-in-that-country, or strongly against the thinking of President Barack Obama and Gen. Stanley McChrystal), anti-rightie, anti-Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld, etc.

Absent from the big screen for over a decade now, Oscar-winning director James Cameron returns armed with a reported half-billion dollars, a story he’s been desperate to tell for 15 years, and the very latest in cutting-edge visual technology. The result is “Avatar,” a sanctimonious thud of a movie so infested with one-dimensional characters and PC clichés that not a single plot turn – small or large – surprises. I call it the “liberal tell,” where the early and obvious politics of the film gives away the entire story before the second act begins, and “Avatar” might be the sorriest example of this yet. For all the time and money and technology that went into its making, the thing that matters most – character and story – are strictly Afterschool Special…

Think of “Avatar” as “Death Wish 5” for leftists. A simplistic, revisionist revenge fantasy where if you freakin’ hate the bad guys (America), you’re able to forgive the by-the-numbers predictability of it all and still get off watching them get what they got coming.

I'm just disappointed that this isn't based on The Last Airbender as it was previously thought. i'm bummed, especially since Cameron used the exact same font for his movie, further adding more confusion in mistakenly linking it to the Nickelodeon series.

There's a ton of search results on Google about those thinking it seriously was based on the series when it's not. so a lot of people are going to be very disappointed pretty soon, provided they didn't look it up first and blindingly assumed it was the series reimagined.

Avatar is not Nickelodeon's Avatar. the only one in theatres currently is this rip-off which shares very little in common other than the animals and the font used in the title.

The problem was that shortly after the final episode aired in 2008, of Nickelodeon's Avatar: The Last Airbender there was speculation that it would be recreated in movie form in live action. and when this showed up with nothing in the way of previews other than a couple action sequences only a few seconds each, when the title showed i was like 'Oh my! it's finally here!'

After reading some online blogs and hearing the Fox Animation Domination hosted by the casts of the movie, i started feeling more and more disappointed that it's not at all like the series that just died off. if it is, it's a bad reproduction of it with just about zero in common other than the font used for the title, which is confusing more and more people as we speak who are more familiar with the widely known Anime and NOT this.

This is going to be just like Star Trek . a complete reformat and reinstall. nothing at all similar.

Oh give me a break. And your ilk talks about let wings nuts and their compsiracy theroies. WTF is that you're spewing out. Sounds like a conspiracy theory to me. Maybe you should go back and hide chicken little until the mean commies go away. Gee is the 1950's again? Let's see there is N Korea, China, Cuba and Viet Nam and that's it. And even China not really communist anymore.
